Berry, G F; Wolsky, A M

Argonne National Laboratory (ANL), with the sponsorship of the US Department of Energy, is investigating a new approach to recovery carbon dioxide (CO/sub 2/) from stationary combustors. The approach also effects the simultaneous recovey of other gaseous combustion products, e.g., sulfur oxides (SO/sub x/) and nitrogen oxides (NO/sub x/). All the gaseous products exit the plant in a single stream. That stream, principally CO/sub 2/, could be disposed of underground (e.g., salt caverns or depleted oil wells) or under ocean (e.g., below 500 m). 5 refs., 1 fig., 1 tab.
